NewPipe is awesome... when it works. In my experience of only a few months, "occasional" is an understatement, unfortunately.

- Throwaway1771 6y agoNewPipe is generally very rarely "down" - I think the youtube-dl upstream issues are impacting them, or they're playing dead for a minute until the RIAA fucks off.
- Mediterraneo10 6y agoNewPipe doesn't use youtube-dl. It uses its own library for downloading from Youtube.

- yellowapple 6y agoIf you're using F-Droid, it helps to switch to NewPipe's own repo, since the default F-Droid repo tends to be a bit slow with updates.
- scns 6y agoHow can i do that?
- slim 6y agodownload apks directly from github
- crtasm 6y agoHere's their instructions: https://newpipe.schabi.org/blog/announcement/f-droid/pinned/f-droid-repo/ https://newpipe.schabi.org/blog/announcement/f-droid/pinned/... I use the app every day - if memory serves they've usually had a new version out within 24hours of breaking changes on youtube.

- dafoex 6y agoIn my experience, NewPipe Legacy is more stable than NewPipe. Its intended for Android versions <5 but it works fine on my Android 9 device.
